    or new plant:
  • Main safety documentation in placeNo significant set-up/tear down costsNo interference with site activities
  • Can be combined
    with operations to provide a turnkey processing service
  • Offers opportunity for significant volume reduction of wet wastes, rather than volume increase through cementationCan be operated at site or Waste Management Technology site as appropriate.
  • Significant volume reductionProducts of oxidation are H2O and CO2 Can be operated at customers site or on Waste Management Technology site as appropriate
